Choose the right perspective

Decide whether you need an advisor to the company, to its lenders or to creditors, and choose someone whose engagements match that side. Consider the size and complexity of the situation, since large bankruptcies and mid-market out-of-court workouts call for different teams.

Questions to take into the conversation

  2. 02When does an out-of-court restructuring make more sense than a bankruptcy filing?
  3. 03How do you keep lenders, creditors and management aligned while a turnaround plan is being carried out?
